It's taken me at least a month to get off my duff and scan this in: integration of the photos I took for a formal, campus-sponsored brochure.



While taking these photos for the assignment was a challenge in and of itself, I learned a lot of other useful tidbits from this experience. While FDA auditors may never find fault with the Facility, photographers will undoubtedly have much to shake their heads about over my contribution.



The most interesting thing I have realized about my primary career is just how amused people are about what I do. "Feed cells?" they ask me, "What do they eat?" I'm not sure what they envision when they think about how much care and nurturing cell cultures sometimes require, but from what they say to me I guess it's something along the lines of one of those ubiquitous fat hamster videos that get passed around the internet.



After all, I guess an oversized pancreatic tumor cell does resemble an obese rodent who is too fat to do anything but lie on its back eating a kernel of popcorn.

Hmm.
